#1. Q Richardson. He's better now(better scorer, better shooter, better ball handler, pretty equal in boarding - Maggette is only a better defender) and he's still got untapped potential(so does Maggette, but I like Q's more). I do not think either player will be stars, but I'll take Q.
#2 Q and Keyon. I think both will be better than Jaric, so that's a pretty easy choice. Whether it narros the rotation doesn't mean much IMO ... Q would start at the 2, Dooling would backup. So it comes down to JAric/Keyon cuz Jaric isn't starting. Jaric/Maggette is more like it, but I'd still take Q/Keyon. Keyon is the perfect backup to Andre.
#3 Tough one. Like you say, probably Wilcox cuz he's under contract for a few more years.
#4 Lamar Odom
#5 Brand.
#6 Another tough one. All things equal, I take Kandi.
But, if it is Kandi at the MAX or right near it, Im taking Ely. I think Ely can be a fine C in the NBA. He's got the average C size, he's tough, he's strong, and he's talented. He's got a 7'4 wingspan. Most importantly, he's a better athlete than most C's and can move better than them. I think he could be a Kandi type 12/9/1.8 player in 2 years. But I expect Kandi to improve a bit more than that.
